NEW! CE Broker Information for Providers and Licensees - Licensees may subscribe now and receive the personal benefits of continuing education tracking through May 31, 2007. The renewal of your license will be affected by continuing education tracking through the CE Broker system beginning with the June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2007 licensure cycle.

RRT/CRT/TUC/TUN licenses expire May 31 of every odd-numbered year. Licensees originally licensed within the first year of the biennium (June 1 of each odd year to May 31 of each even year), are required to complete all 24 hours of continuing education credits. Licensees originally licensed within the second year of the biennium (June 1 of each even year to May 31 of each odd year), are exempted from continuing education credits for their first renewal period ending that May 31 of the odd year. Beginning the following biennium, they must begin collecting their CE for the next renewal. This exemption only applies to people who do not already hold a respiratory license in the State of Florida. 

If you are upgrading your status, regardless of when the license is issued, you are not exempt from the continuing education requirements. Once your license has been upgraded, you may request to voluntarily relinquish your Certified Respiratory Care or Respiratory Care license. The request must be in writing to the Board.

If the license is not renewed by May 31 of each odd year, a delinquency fee will be charged in addition to the applicable renewal fee.

If the licensee wishes to change from active status to inactive status, or from inactive to active status at any time other than during the renewal period, a change of status fee will be charged. The renewal cycle starts between 90 to 120 days prior to the expiration date of a license and ends on the expiration date.

To change from inactive status to active status will also require payment of a  reactivation fee. Before requesting reactivation contact the Board office to determine continuing education requirements.
